There have been many studies conducted on Human Growth Hormone or HGH, sometimes also referred to as GH and the results have been conclusive that it works. Not only studies however in controlled environments but also real life examples of its effectiveness have proven that this is at least worth looking into as we age. It seems that growth hormone therapy is nature's fountain of youth. For more in depth information on HGH, read the book Grow Young.

Effects of Growth Hormone Therapy

Some of the benefits of adding growth hormone to your dietary intake include an increase in your vitality, improvements in muscle mass, healthier immune systems, enhanced ability to learn, process and retain data as well as lower blood pressure.

The first real published account of the effectiveness of HGH was on July 5, 1990 when the New England Journal of Medicine published a clinical study on the substance. They coined it the fountain of youth and if there is one thing that we have been seeking since Ponce de Leon, it's the fountain of youth. The report showed men ages 61 to 81 were able to tighten and tone their bodies where once they had been flabby and soft. In just 6 months of taking GH they added 8.8% of lean muscle mass to their frames and lost fourteen percent. Not only were their physical looks improved, their insides benefitted as well – bone density increased and longevity improved as well. It was documented that in just six months of being treated with the human growth hormone these men were able to reverse ten to twenty years of aging effects. Growth hormone therapy is nature's fountain of youth.

When Does Human Growth Hormone Peak and Diminish?

The body reaches its HGH max during the teenage or adolescent years and starts to diminish shortly afterwards. It is secreted while we sleep and especially during the beginning hours of our deep sleep states.  All animals have growth hormone and all start to lose it which leads to aging, In humans the loss starts after we turn 21 and continues to diminish more than ten percent with each passing decade.

What are the Benefits to HGH?

The main benefit that people reported was how they felt. Before the treatments people struggled with feelings of low self esteem and self worth along with depression however during the treatments that subsided and was replaced with energy, vigor and a positive outlook. That is truly remarkable.
